Craigentinny Community Council will hold a meeting on Tuesday to discuss plans for the replacement of Meadowbank Stadium.
The campaign group Save Meadowbank say that there is little support for the current planning applications for the site which set out a smaller footprint for the replacement stadium and housing.
They claim that only 19.4% of comments on the council planning portal were supportive of the plans to change the use from open space to housing/commercial and that out of the 314 comments relating to the second application which aims to build a smaller sports centre only 27.1% were positive and in favour of the development.
Campaigner Linda Furley said : “Most people do not want the land sold for housing, especially when the number of sporting facilities is being significantly reduced.
“That was a view expressed repeatedly when Edinburgh Council last tried to downsize Meadowbank and remains the same now.”
The meeting will take place at St Margaret’s House on Tuesday 27 February 2018 at 7.30 pm.
